i was a student at sensi andersons school in the late 80's and early nineties and i was also a u.s.k.k state champion and a p.k.c national champion for both kumite and kata and sensi anderson taught me most of what i know including my multiple national championship kata basadi interpetation giant like worrior. i dont know whats going on in indy now with mr. anderson as i have been in georgia first teaching at another school in which i have a blackbelt in another style besides shori- go- ju- ru and now opening my own dojo (kumite dojo) in southern ga (fitzgerald). but the instigations that Master andersons isnt what he says in rank is a slap in the face and outright disrespectful and i will always stand up for both his and the schools honor anytime now or in the future.

This place is now called Indy boxing south the main owner is a guy name Jerry Smith, he is very knowledgeable about martial arts and teaches a eclectic system he calls Jeet Kune Do concepts, but also teaches Boxing, Okinawan Kempo and Kali. His pricing is fair and the studio is pretty good. If you want people who are serious about teaching realistic and proven fighting skills this is a good place to start. There are bad points as well, they have so many different people teaching and handling classes it's hard to learn anyone thing without many years of training, and it can get distracting at times.

The guy who runs this Kwan is a very nice guy and he is open to teaching anyone, he is cheap and the people are friendly. The draw back is he started learning from video tape and is now learning through seminar only. If you want to learn Kung fu but don't want to drive to Purdue then this is a great place.

Master parks is a well known Budoka here in Indy he runs the oldest Dojo in the city. He teaches Judo, his own version of Jujutsu (I call it Mudokwan Jujutsu), Iaijutsu, kendo and he will be teaching Kyudo very soon. His pricing is by how many classes and systems you want to take but I believe he is under a 100 a month. If you want to learn Bushido and self-defense this is a great place.

Mr. Anderson used to be a big name here in Indy but as the years have gone by his studio's have closed and he really isn't teaching anymore. Him stopping teaching is actually a god thing as he claims rank he never earned, some of the kata his people preform at competitions where just plain strange. I don't believe this Dojo is even open anymore.

Basic Tae Kwon Do Dojang offering competition style martial arts in a commercial atmosphere. If you have kids it's great fun but I would look else where if I really wanted to learn practical self-defense.

Level ten martial arts is just like everyone other Korean Dojo out there. They teach all Korean systems: Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido an Korean Kung Fu, but there main focus is Tae Kwon Do. Traditional is not a word I would use to describe this school, they are very commercial, students have to spend a set amount of money every month in the Dojo store, they teach mainly children under the age of ten, they have a after school program at a few grade schools, and they teach so many weapons it's a wonder how the instructor every really learn to use any of them most have no martial value only competition.

The instructor is nice and they do have some thing to offer. The serious Martial arts should just keep moving but if you want a hobby or are causal about your train then this place is just fine. The pricing is good, they are professional, the instructor is qualified and if you have kids it's just plain fun.
